Israeli MOFA says that Hamas rejected proposed ceasefire extension:
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel has announced that that they accepted U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s proposed extension of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal through both Ramadan and Passover but Hamas rejected it. This means that the ceasefire could’ve been extended to at least April 20, 2025.
The current situation continues to remain in limbo as a number of competing blocs have all proposed their own outlook for the future of the Gaza Strip:
- France, Germany, and the UK. (Known as the E3)
- Collection of Arab states
- U.S.-Israel https://video.nostr.build/b89078cca9df46e7adeba741384ecb8734608d5b8dc88cabd9da7e442aff55ed.mp4
This comes amidst the news that the U.S. is now directly negotiating with Hamas to secure some sort of deal to free the U.S. hostages still held by the terrorist group.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office responded with a statement saying that they were aware of the move, but stopped short of criticizing the move by U.S. decision-makers (Barak Ravid).
